Absolutely horrible. This school doesn't care about the students and turn their heads to the bullying and racism that goes on and don't give any consequences. Students aren't given proper education in this school and aren't taught correctly. Students that need more guidance are left behind and end up failing as a result. All around, this school is a disgrace.

Awful. From poorly spoken teachers, to lack of action when students are being bullied. Just an all around terrible school. Cesspool of the worst Volusia County has to offer. A feeder school for the correctional system. Apply for a variance now and save yourself and your children a lot of stress. They received a C last year.

This School is Disgraceful!The Principal an Asst Principal are Very much in the Wrong positions in life. They allow students to get bullied with no real consequences. There lack of education an Qualities Trwd running a school are a joke an Pitiful! The only Good in Palm Terrace is some teachers, a few Faculty an there Resource officer is genuinely caring an a Good Officer for DB . Otherwise the ones un charge are running this school into the ground. When you allow boys to slap,kick,choke , etc to Girls, bruise them make them hate school because of bullying you deserve charges put on yourself for failure to protect the children you took an Oath to protect!Disgusted!

My child attended this school for Pre K, as well as kindergarten, and I can honestly say we had a wonderful experience. We moved out of the zone this summer, but we would have stayed if it was closer. The office staff is amazing, and the teachers all seem to truly care about the children excelling. The school itself was quite clean, and administration had a great handle on everything from my perspective.

This was our first year attending this school. Our kids have excelled! Their teachers have been nothing but amazing. The office staff is super helpful and kind. Palm Terrace is truly a diamond in the rough.

My step daughter went there and she did excellent. my son has been there for four years and is doing well. All his teachers have helped him greatly. I appreciate their effort in helping my son. I stay in touch with them and let me know how he's doing. They have a good structure and a positive atmosphere. I like the dolphin dollars. The kids earn in class and get to spend them in the dolphin dollar store. My son has come home so happy because was able to buy something in the store. I like the staff and I'm glad my son goes there.
